Anupreet Walia

I build AI products from scratch and scale the teams and platforms behind them. Currently CTO & Co-Founder of Brevian AI.

17+ years across AI/ML systems, knowledge graphs, RAG, and agentic AI, from founding teams to orgs of 100+ engineers at venture-backed startups (Sequoia, a16z, Y Combinator). This is where my technical work, writing, research, and patents live in one place.
